However, to officially support Windows 11 Apple would have to update macOS to support TPM and Windows 11 and that seems highly unlikely as Apple is currently discontinuing all Intel Macs in favor of Apple Silicon Macs.
![]() ![]() The dip followed an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, where Harris bristled at a question about why she had not visited the border, triggering criticism. Whether the decline is directly related to the immigration debate is uncertain, however, as the dip in her approval also corresponds to a small decline in President Biden’s job approval. Republicans have sought to make her the face of an issue that they believe could help them politically.Īfter taking on that role, Harris’ approval ratings began to decline, with unfavorable opinions surpassing favorable ones in June 2021. “Hope springs eternal and this feels like a good day for women and a good day for the future of the planet and its inhabitants.Since taking office, Harris has been assigned one of the administration’s thorniest issues: stemming the influx of immigrants attempting to cross U.S. German Greens deputy Terry Reintke said, “as the first woman in history becoming Vice-President of the US, and even more, as a woman of colour, Kamala Harris, you are such an inspiration.”įellow Greens MEP Grace O’Sullivan said she was “looking forward to the change Kamala Harris will bring our way.” “When a woman breaks the glass ceiling, with the help of men and women, a whole society realises that anything is possible that everyone can achieve their dreams” Irène Tolleret, Renew Europe Not for the same reasons as some people who reduce it to a story of colour again. Kanko said, “This is why I find Kamala Harris fantastic. Greens co-leader Ska Keller sent her congratulations to Joe Biden “and especially Kamala Harris, first female Vice-President of the US!” adding, “can’t believe it took so long.”īelgian ECR deputy Assita Kanko referred to a quote from Harris in which she says, “I was raised to be an independent woman, not the victim of anything.” Another triumph of the streets, of the movements, and of so many anonymous people who have laid down their lives to fight fascism all over the world.” Rodríguez Palop, who is also vice-chair of Parliament’s Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, said, “For the first time, women will make up 25 percent of Congress. Spanish GUE/NGL MEP Eugenia Rodríguez Palop said that although Harris will be the first female Vice-President in the US, “she will not be the last.” Irish EPP MEP Frances Fitzgerald called Harris’ election “a remarkable day for democracy and women around the world,” while fellow Irish EPP colleague Maria Walsh said simply, “glass ceiling smashed!” A message of hope, tenacity and courage addressed to all girls.” Italian S&D MEP Alessandra Moretti said, “With her words Vice-President Kamala Harris breaks that glass ceiling that for too long has prevented so many women from reaching positions of authority. “What a testament it is to Joe’s character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his Vice-President” Kamala Harris, US Vice-President-elect ![]() “When a woman breaks the glass ceiling, with the help of men and women, a whole society realises that anything is possible that everyone can achieve their dreams.” “įrench Renew Europe deputy Irène Tolleret said that Harris’ address was a “wonderful speech about the glass ceiling and the American social elevator.” But know that we will applaud you every step of the way. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourselves in a way that others may not simply because they’ve never seen it before. “But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. In a speech after the results of the unprecedented election, which saw Joe Biden and Kamala Harris declared the winners over incumbent Donald Trump, Harris said, “what a testament it is to Joe’s character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his Vice-President.” “We must play our fair share in politics and we need to reflect society, in all its diversity, at the decision-making level,” she added. The history-making election of California senator Kamala Harris as the first female Vice-President of the United States saw policymakers in Brussels celebrating her victory.ĮU Equality Commissioner Helena Dalli congratulated Harris “for leaping over the hurdles and becoming the first ethnic minority woman Vice-President of the US.” ![]() Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced a new browser for Windows 10. ![]() Mozilla has not replied to questions about whether it has plans to restart Firefox on touch for Windows 10. Officially labeled as "Firefox for Windows 8 Touch," the browser was shelved almost a year ago, just days before its scheduled debut, when Mozilla cited poor adoption of Windows 8's (and Windows 8.1's) "Modern," née "Metro," touch-first mode for the decision.īut with Microsoft planning to release Windows 10 later this year - most likely in September or October - and aggressively push uptake by giving free upgrades to consumers running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Mozilla may rethink the shuttering of Firefox on touch.Īt the time, Mozilla said that the code would be mothballed, available at some later date if Metro suddenly got a growth spurt. Mozilla has another sidelined browser that it could restart: Firefox for a Windows-based touch environment. Although the open-source developer has long had 64-bit versions for OS X and Linux, Mozilla suspended work on one for Windows in November 2012 only to recant and restart the project a month later.Ī 64-bit version of Firefox on Windows has been available on Mozilla's "Nightly" build channel, a very unpolished edition, for years. The path to a 64-bit Firefox on Windows has been tortured. Opera Software, the Norwegian browser maker known for its same-named desktop flagship, also offers a 64-bit edition on Windows. ![]() Google shipped a Windows 64-bit Chrome in August 2014 and one for OS X in November, while Apple's Safari and Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) have had 64-bit editions on OS X and Windows since 20, respectively. Mozilla is the last 32-bit holdout among the top five providers of browsers. The biggest advantage of a 64-bit browser on a 64-bit operating system is that it can address more than the 4GB of memory available to a 32-bit application, letting users keep open hundreds of tabs without crashing the browser, or as Cook and Weathersby pointed out, run larger, more sophisticated Web apps, notably games. Currently, Mozilla's schedule, which launches a newly-numbered edition every six weeks, has Firefox 38 progressing through "Beta" and "Central" builds, with the latter - the most polished edition - releasing May 12.Ĭook and Weathersby touted the 64-bit Firefox as faster and more secure, the latter due to efficiency improvements in Windows' anti-exploit ASLR (address space layout randomization) technology in 64-bit. With the release of each newer version the tool has run more and more smoothly, allowing it to compete head to head with its main competitors.Įach newer version of Firefox has definitely presented important changes and improved its service, allowing it to no longer be seen as a simple alternative to Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and to become the main choice for millions of users around the world.Firefox 38's Developer Edition, formerly called "Aurora," now comes in both 32- and 64-bit version for Windows. The speed with which websites are loaded, and resource use, have also seen improvements, therefore avoiding the excessive use of memory found on previous versions. Performance and stability have, once again, been improved with better JavaScript and rendering engines, increased HTML5 compatibility, independent processing for the browser’s add-ons, and much more. ![]() Its latest releases have centered on improving technical aspects, as its appearance continues being pretty much the same as that of previous versions. Among its main features are the option of being able to browse several websites at the same time thanks to its tab system, all while supporting most existing web standards as well as offering a personalized experience thanks to its extensions, add-ons, and themes that have been created by the community and which allow you to expand its functions. Mozilla continues working on more improvements for its star product: the free and open source browser, Firefox. ![]() Harissa paste can be purchased at most Middle Eastern markets or made at home using fresh or dried chili peppers. The paste can be used to flavor soups and stews or as a condiment for grilled meats or vegetable dishes.

Make sure to dry them afterward. If you are using these stones for their metaphysical properties, you might want to consider energetically cleansing and recharging these stones. The reason for this is that these stones absorb low vibrations. This is because any stone that is exposed to water for long periods will eventually turn dull. The best way to clean these stones is by either dusting them off or using a damp towel. Do keep in mind that if you wear the stone as jewelry, it is recommended to keep it away from water anyway. With onyx being a variety of quartz, it doesn’t have a problem with water. Leaving it to soak will either dissolve or break the stone. ĬARE: With calcite being a soft stone, it is recommended to avoid water. For green calcite, for example, there is malachite present. As a result, what is often referred to as Mexican or Pakistan onyx is actually not even close to being actual onyx. The rest of this mineral is made up of other substances, which often cause a difference in color. Onyx can be further categorized into quartz, just like amethyst and citrine, for example. On the other hand, banded calcite consists mostly of calcium carbonate (up to 99%). You can only see the crystal structure through a microscope. This means that the crystals cannot be seen by the naked eye. ![]() ĬHEMICAL COMPOSITION: Onyx consists of silicon dioxide and is a form of chalcedony, which is microcrystalline. Dyed Chalcedony or Agate is stronger than Banded Calcite that can be scratched easily and may lose its color. NOTE: Depending on the real mineral, Green Onyx's durability can vary. Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, CapricornĬhemical Formula: SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) or CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) It may also come from England, Germany, or Russia. Despite this, Green Onyx has still been used throughout history, even being found at burial sites and in archeological evidence of ancient magical practices, and its story is deeply tied to Black Onyx.ĭepending on the variety, Green Onyx can come from a large array of places, including Brazil, India, Madagascar, Mexico, Peru, United States, and Uruguay. With this confusion, Green Onyx can really refer to a Green Chalcedony or Banded Calcite (to learn more, continue to Varieties of Green Onyx), but either way it is not a true Onyx. ![]() However, in the commercial and building industry, Onyx is used to describe a much softer calcium carbonate stone (Calcite) and can go by many names, including Pakistan Jade, Pakistan Onyx, Mexican Onyx, Onyx Marble, or even Egyptian Alabaster. Because of differences between the mineral world and the commercial industry, there is a lot of confusion about Green Onyx's true composition and properties. Within the gem and mineral community, Onyx is used to describe black and white banded Agate (a variety of Chalcedony). Green Onyx is a stone of comfort, personal power, and protection. This resulted in a significant increase in the budget for climate change adaptation and mitigation measures by about 60 percent compared to the previous year’s allocation”.įor 2024, the Philippines has proposed allotting 543.45 billion pesos ($9.74bn) for climate expenditures, a 17 percent increase in spending from the current year, which was already 60 percent higher than 2022.Ĭlimate expenditures account for 9.4 percent of the country’s total budget, with the DBM proudly touting that the number exceeds the country’s 8 percent commitment under the latest Philippine Development Plan. Since 2009, climate-related spending by the Philippine government has ballooned, with most expenditure funnelled towards infrastructure.Īccording to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), “climate actions have been mainstreamed and institutionalised in our development plan and the National Budget. According to the World Bank, flooding caused by typhoons has resulted in about 30,000 deaths during the past three decades in addition to massive economic losses. The Philippines experiences 20 typhoons annually. ![]() Environmental activists in the Philippines have criticised the government’s land reclamation efforts I don’t see how that protects us from climate change especially when flood levels have been rising in nearby areas,” Samson said. “They are destroying mangroves across 15,000 hectares of water. While civil society groups and lawmakers sounded the alarm about potential harm to the environment, Manila pointed to massive expenditures on climate-related projects aimed at offsetting the risks and negative effects of large-scale development.įor environmental advocates like Samson, though, Manila’s climate spending is nothing more than an attempt to greenwash environmentally damaging development projects like reclamation. In 2017, the Philippine government spearheaded 13 land reclamation projects along Manila Bay, spanning five provinces including Metro Manila and Bulacan. “This is not just my opinion, it’s a scientific fact,” he said. Samson blames reclamation projects in the region for his community’s sudden vulnerability to extreme weather. “The towns which didn’t used to experience flooding are now getting a taste of it,” Samson said. When the rains began, Samson’s parish was unfazed since it sits on land “as high as the tip of a cathedral”, but it wasn’t long before residents were crying out for help, Samson told Al Jazeera. ![]() What will that mean for Hezbollah? list 2 of 4 Jimmy Lai’s security trial opens in Hong Kong, UK urges immediate release list 3 of 4 Chile rejects conservative constitution, leaving Pinochet-era text in force list 4 of 4 Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 663 end of list Keep reading list of 4 items list 1 of 4 Hamas is now recruiting in Lebanon. ![]() Enjoy this game with BlueStacks today!Īre you tired of squinting at your phone’s small screen while playing your favorite Android games?

However, uncertainties in this area of the law-including in relation to questions of standing and causation-are still formidable challenges for Plaintiffs to overcome. In many instances, plaintiffs’ attorneys will try to position themselves for a large payout, relying upon statutory causes of action that provide liquidated damages on a per violation basis to class members. However, readers of CPW should bear in mind this is par for the course for most data breach cases.
